Hausgereut became an independent municipality only in 1844 and thus had no historical seals or arms. The village had a village symbol, which was used on borderstones and can also be found on the bell in the local church, made in 1749, see image below. | Hausgereut became an independent municipality only in 1844 and thus had no historical seals or arms.

The new municipality thus adopted this sign on its seal. But in 1895 the municipality adopted arms, showing a black eagle in a silver field, with a small red inescutcheon with a black letter H. These arms were never officially granted. The eagle was (wrongly) seen as the arms of the County Hanau-Lichtenberg, to which the area historically belonged. The inescutcheon showed the town's initial. | The new municipality thus adopted this sign on its seal.
